Start your epic
Marrakech to Fes 3 Days Desert tour with a morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Your adventure kicks off as we traverse the scenic Tizi-Ntichka pass, winding through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Our first major stop is the iconic Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, known for its breathtaking architecture and its starring role in famous films like "Gladiator" and "The Mummy."
After exploring Ait Ben Haddou, we'll continue to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Hollywood of Morocco," for a delightful lunch. Our journey then leads us to the lush oasis of Skoura, followed by a drive through the fragrant Rose Valley, known for its annual rose festival. We'll end the day in the dramatic Dades Gorge, where you will enjoy a sumptuous dinner and a restful night in a charming hotel or riad.
Day 2: Boumalne Dades - Todra Gorges - Erfoud - Merzouga Desert Camp
Day two of your Marrakech to Fes 3 Days Desert Tour takes you deeper into Morocco's enchanting landscapes. We begin with a visit to the striking Todra Gorges, where towering cliffs create a dramatic natural spectacle. Continuing our journey, we reach Tinghir, a picturesque Berber village whose name means "shoulder" in the Berber language, once a strategic French military post.
After a leisurely lunch in a local café, we head towards Erfoud, renowned for its rich deposits of fossilized marble. Here, you can explore the fascinating stone works before we venture into the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. Upon arrival in Merzouga, you’ll meet your camel guide and embark on an unforgettable camel ride over the rolling sand dunes, capturing stunning sunset views.
As night falls, we reach our desert camp. Enjoy a magical evening under a starlit sky, savoring a delicious dinner, and immersing yourself in traditional nomadic music and dance around the campfire. Your second night promises an extraordinary desert experience.
Day 3: Merzouga Desert Camp - Midelt - Ifrane - Fes
Awaken early on your final day to witness a breathtaking desert sunrise, followed by a hearty breakfast. After a camel ride back to Merzouga, we continue our 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes, passing through the scenic Ziz Valley near Errachidia, known for its lush palm groves and panoramic vistas.
Our journey continues to Midelt, a town celebrated for its apple orchards and rich mineral deposits. We’ll pause for lunch here before traveling through the Middle Atlas Mountains, renowned for their cedar forests and quaint Berber villages. A highlight of this leg is a stop to observe the playful Barbary macaques in their natural habitat.
Next, we visit the charming town of Ifrane, often dubbed the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its alpine-style architecture and immaculate cleanliness. Founded by the French in 1929, Ifrane offers a unique blend of Moroccan and European influences, including its famous stone lion sculpture.
As we draw closer to Fes, we'll pass through several small Berber towns, arriving in the evening. Your 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour concludes with an overnight stay in a cozy hotel or riad in Fes, marking the end of a truly memorable journey.
